Hi.. I am new to quilting and sewing in General. I am a fairly new mom and started crafting when I had my first baby 2 years ago! Looking for any tips to help me in my journey, I want to make a family quilt or maybe a momento quilt for my children. Any ideas or examples please show me! Thanks!!

Welcome, try using a simple block such as a 3 or 4 rail fence block. Use muslin and a baby print and then write or emborider your baby's grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, etc. on the rail blocks. Like a family tree of names.

Hi and welcome! This board is a great place for fun and inspiration.

I have younger kids too- 3 and 5- and I have been saving their old pajamas. I will eventually make a quilt using squares cut from their footie type pajamas and then I can use it to cuddle with when they go away to college and leave me with no one but DH to talk to! LOL! Seriously though, a lot of people make quilts from their kids' old clothes. It's just one idea- hope it helps.
